Lois - Does he try to get to a litter box? If he basically just goes
where ever he is, try placing him on a disposable diaper at night.
That way, the urine will be absorbed into the diaper, and less will
be on his skin.
I know this is not a total answer to the problem, but hopefully it
might help some.
